Written Answers - Disabled Persons Grant Scheme.

Michael Ring

Question:

234 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the amount allocated in 1997 to Mayo County Council under the disabled persons' grant scheme. [6342/98]

The 1997 capital allocation to Mayo County Council for local authority house purchase and improvement loans and disabled persons and essential repairs grants was £675,000. It is a matter for each local authority to determine its own spending priorities within its overall allocation for these purposes.

Question:

235 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the number of applications dealt with in each of the years from 1995 to 1997 in County Mayo in relation to the disabled persons' scheme; and the number approved and completed. [6345/98]

The available information on activity under the disabled persons grants scheme for 1995 and 1996, including the number of grants approved, is published in my Department's Annual Housing Statistics Bulletin, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. Information in relation to 1997 will be contained in the 1997 bulletin, which is due for publication at the end of March.
